Flooding update - 9 January

“The main focus over the next few days is the very high winds which may cause some spray overtopping around Western, Northern, Moray and Aberdeenshire coasts. Flood alerts are out for these areas, but we do not expect widespread flooding.

“There are a few bands of rain moving over the country over the weekend and we expect this, combined with snowmelt in some areas, to cause a rise in rivers levels. Again impacts are expected to be limited to low-lying agricultural land and minor roads.

“Further rain is forecast at the beginning of next week, which could cause some flooding issues in areas that are already saturated. We will closely monitor this over the coming days and issue updates if needed.
